Over the 2014 Baseball Hall of Fame weekend, MAB Celebrity Services will host a public autograph signing for New York Mets/ New York Yankees 4x MLB All-Star pitcher, Dwight Gooden. The signing is part of the Annual MAB Hall of Fame Spectacular which will be held inside the Tunnicliff Inn in Cooperstown, New York.

The New York Mets used the fifth pick of the 1982 Amateur Baseball Draft to select Dwight Gooden out of Hillsborough High School (Tampa, Florida) when he was just 17 years old. Gooden blew right through the minor leagues and was the 1984 NL Rookie of the Year. In 1985, Gooden had one of the most dominating seasons in baseball history. Gooden led the majors with 24 wins, a 1.53 ERA and 268 strikeouts on his way to winning the 1985 Cy Young Award. His 1.53 ERA is the lowest sinlge-season ERA of the Live-Ball Era (1920-2014). The following year, Gooden led the Mets to the 1986 World Series Championship. He played with the Mets through the 1994 season and appeared in four MLB All-Star Games. Gooden finished the last five seasons (1996-2000) of his career with the Yankees, Indians, Astros and Rays. He won two additional World Series titles with the Yankees and threw a no-hitter on May 14, 1996.
